Loved the color, hated the fit
Bright and cheery print. It's totally unlined and really flowy. If I cared enough to rent again, I'd actually size down two more sizes, but I think it's just the style of the dress and how it is meant to hang on you that I didn't like. The included belt is very slippery, so I found myself having to tie it over and over again. I didn't leave the house wearing it though I tried it at home for about an hour to see if I could get used to such a different fitting dress. My husband said it was cute, but after I put on another dress he agreed that this yellow one was less flattering.

Cute and fun
Definitely fits large, so size down. Very comfy and relatively easy to wear. Shorts aren't too short like some rompers.

Quality shirt
I enjoyed wearing this shirt. Great fall color and medium weight to it. Only drawback I can see is that it is silk and requires dry cleaning only to care for it. I would have purchased if it were machine washable, but I'll settle for just adding it to a regular rental rotation when I feel like it.

Best yet!
I'm 150 pounds, 5' 1" and this thing is the perfect length for a short dress on me. Size large. Hugs all over, and is comfy! Sequins don't scratch. Best yet after about ten or twelve different dresses from RTR. Knock out piece!

Well made and cute... but short girls beware!
Being 5'1", I can normally wear clothes meant for normal height women that are cropped or cut at the ankle, and they fit me like normal pants. In this case, the pant length was right, but the crotch was SUPER low. haha... I ended up not being able to wear it. I think this is for long torso'd women. (My lack of height is from having REALLY short legs, so my torso normally fits regular clothes just fine. This was an odd one.)

Lightweight and fun
Worn without a belt, it's too baggy to be stylish in my opinion. Luckily, it comes with the matching belt. This is unlined and thin, so even though it has long sleeves, it's fine in the hot sun. I always wear a 12 in Kate Spade but the large was too big on me. Would order a medium next time, and would wear again! I'm 152 pounds, 5' 1".

Cool fabric!
I am a petite frame but a size 10-12. The 12 was barely too big on me, and I think the 10 will work better. (I'll try again with my Unlimited.) The shoulders seemed slightly boxy to me, but I do think it was because of the size of the dress. I weigh 152 right now, 5' 1", and I think the size 10 would have been best.

Black Metallic Adrian Dress
HALSTON
Size Worn: 12

Heavy fabric!
This dress would be very flattering if it didn't run small. I end up between a medium and large dress most of the time but this medium was TIGHT. Too tight to wear. It's also made of really heavy fabric, so I'd suggest wearing it on a cool spring evening with a shawl or cardigan, or maybe in the fall. It's definitely too hot for a daytime summer dress. The cut is great and if it's available in October I'll try again one size up.

Weird fit, good quality
Definitely size this one up. The waist is small, but it's also VERY small around the hips. The RTR photo makes it look like the skirt flares out a little below the waist, but oddly it does not. This dress would fit someone with a frame like Taylor Swift - thin, not any hint of hourglass or much shape at the butt or hip. It is very pretty lace and seems to be fairly well made. The invisible zipper on mine actually got stuck and pulled apart, and RTR sent me a replacement choice quickly. Wanted to love this but it was a miss for me.
Meadow Navy Lace Dress

Super sexy leather
They styled this in a photo with a long-ish black dress, but it's definitely a sexier look if you want it to be. The lining and leather itself are so soft. Even from a distance it's clearly a high dollar piece. The color (like everyone has said) is incredible. I selected this to wear with a black sequined Badgley Mischka jumpsuit. I'm 5'1" and the sleeves on the XL were surprisingly not horribly long on me. Size up one size if you're in between or if you have broad shoulders. Will definitely rent again if it's still around this fall, and possibly even purchase if it gets cheap enough on clearance.

People stopped me with compliments
Being 5'1" makes wearing jumpsuits nearly impossible, but this 12R fit me perfectly with a modest heel. I'm just under 160 lbs right now and it seriously felt like wearing comfy pajamas, not semi-formal wear. I also went braless which is great, but tried it both ways. Could have gone with or without. I was going to pair it with the Veda Blood Orange jacket but it was too warm at the event to do so. When I tried them on together they looked amazing. It's definitely a high impact piece and sparkles ALL over; even in the dark it catches the tiniest bit of light. Sad to send it back but not something worth keeping in my closet since it's such an impactful piece. I'll be renting again (Unlimited) if I need it.

Day or night
Worn during night, it's a slightly sparkly little black dress, but during the day the light catches the silver threads in it and it pops a lot more. Very cute and people stopped me to compliment the dress. It's definitely a thicker fabric. I wore it when it was 75 degrees and partly sunny and was pretty toasty to wear; if it had been any warmer I would have been actually HOT in this dress. I don't recommend for wearing outside a bunch in the spring/summer months. Great fall/winter cocktail or wedding attire. Appropriate for work.

Well made, great detail on back
There is no give in the ribs, but it fit perfectly, so that was fine. The back is super cute! There was plenty of room in the chest, but I'm relatively small chested for my height/weight/frame. It didn't gap badly, but I definitely wore a structured bra to fill it out a little when I can normally go braless. People stopped me to ask where I got it.
